https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/new-cpu-won-t-recognize-ntfs-harddrive/m-p/3216832#M4565 My AMD chip self-destructed. I replaced the CPU &amp; motherboard with Intel. I'm (was) running Windows XP and Norton SystemWorks 2002 with NTFS. The BIOS sees the hardrive, but when I try to re- install windows, the drive is not recognized. It sees the drive, but won't assign a drive letter. It also shows space being used. Independant checks show the harddrive is OK. <BR />HELP!<BR /><BR /> Fri, 12 Mar 2004 02:11:21 GMT Wayne MacKinnon 2004-03-12T02:11:21Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/new-cpu-won-t-recognize-ntfs-harddrive/m-p/3216832#M4565 My AMD chip self-destructed.
